IEC60884-1 Breaking Endurance Test System for Plug and socket-outlet of Household Appliance

1. Introduction

Switch plug and socket life tester meets the requirements of IEC60884-1 and VDE0620. it is suitable for aging test of rocker switch, snap switch, key switch, plug, socket-outlet and coupler of household appliance and similar appliance. Its aim at checking the switch whether is able to withstand the mechanical damage and electrical fatigue damage in normal use, and if there are adhesion phenomena or prolonged closed or disconnected phenomena occur, inspect whether there are excessive wear and other harmful consequences with it. Equipped with power load (resistive, inductive, capacitive), it can do live test, normal operation and breaking endurance test.

The life tester uses the cylinder as the power to drive the slide rail assembly with clamps to do reciprocating rectilinear movement, thereby completing the insertion and extraction of the plug and the socket. The operating frequency and switching time are controlled by PLC and LCD display.

Power Load cabinet is a support equipment designed according to IEC60884-1 and UL1054, it is applied to simulate the electrical appliance in charged state, then to do the aging test and on-off ability test, the load current and surge current can be customized according to the user’s demand. This equipment adopts cabinet type, the shell is made by iron plates with coatings, and with four trundles to move. Inductor resistor chip combination inside the cabinet, strong wind cooling mechanism, voltage regulation system, high-power electricity reactor, various electrical control components, control circuit board and output terminal block and etc.
